John Mayer
Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967 (Commentary Teaser)
2011-03-11: Berklee College of Music Master Class
Around this time last year, I was lucky enough to be a part of John Mayer’s master class at Berklee College of Music which took place after his clinic at the BPC. In the first hour of the class, he mentioned that he was writing a song called “Submarine Test, 1967.” At the end of the night, when he was trying to decide what new songs to play for us, I blurted out, “What about the submarine one?” like a jackass. In retrospect, I’m extremely glad I did.
John said, “I want the first time people hear it to be on the record,” so I’m only posting his commentary before/after the song and I’m not going to post the actual tune. It’s hands down the best song that I’ve heard so far from Born and Raised, and it’ll be worth the wait. Hopefully this little snippet will generate some more buzz for the album which is scheduled to be released on May 22nd.
Joni Mitchell had it sussed, still appropriate these days.
…all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he says you think you’re immune, go look at your eyes
They’re two blue moons
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they’re only pretty lies
Just pretty lies, just pretty lies

I love hitch.
“Hitch: making rules about drinking can be the sign of an alcoholic,’ as Martin Amis once teasingly said to me. (Adorno would have savored that, as well.) Of course, watching the clock for the start-time is probably a bad sign, but here are some simple pieces of advice for the young. Don’t drink on an empty stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. Don’t drink if you have the blues: it’s a junk cure. Drink when you are in a good mood. Cheap booze is a false economy. It’s not true that you shouldn’t drink alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. Hangovers are another bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can’t properly remember last night. (If you really don’t remember, that’s an even worse sign.) Avoid all narcotics: these make you more boring rather than less and are not designed—as are the grape and the grain—to enliven company. Be careful about up-grading too far to single malt Scotch: when you are voyaging in rough countries it won’t be easily available. Never even think about driving a car if you have taken a drop. It’s much worse to see a woman drunk than a man: I don’t know quite why this is true but it just is. Don’t ever be responsible for it.”
